"My Garter Slipped" Scarf!

Got two skeins of Noro? Need a last minute Christmas gift? Need some mindless travel knitting that isn't so mindless that you want to pull your hair out from boredom? The "My Garter Slipped" Scarf might just be the project you're looking for. The pattern is an easily memorizable four row repeat. The long slip stitch looks great with Noro and would look great with variegated yarns, too. It's simple, but pretty. Here's the pattern. Merry Christmas. I hope you like it!

Since it's been quite chilly lately, I've been getting alot of use out of this scarf.

I am returning to posting after a bit of a break. I participated in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November, and I did it! I squeaked by with over 50,000 words on the last day. It didn't help that I took about five days off to knit a shawl in the middle of the month. I've got lots of things to post about, and I've been taking photos, so stayed tuned.

Love the scarf. I haven't knit anything for ages and I have a ton of partially finished projects lying around looking pitiful! =( Maybe the New Year will inspire me to be a better knitter...or maybe not...we'll see

Very beautiful! I was wondering where you went to. I have a pattern for a neck cozy for you...easy as pie and mindless knitting, if you need some.

US 7 dpns, cast on 72 stitches with worsted weight yarn....move your stitches to how ever many dps you choose and join in the round. Knit for 3 to 4 inches. Bind off loosely, wash, block and enjoy, keeps your neck warm, no heavy scarves to pack around. But, since your scarf is so freaking beautiful, I would show it off! :^D

I'm doing this scarf for my mother for Christmas, and mine looks a little twisted, though I'm sure I'm doing it right. The slipped stitches sort of twist around. Does it start looking different after a while, or am I doing something wrong? It's my first time doing something besides just knit and purl, so I'm a little worried I'm doing it wrong.

I made this using ktg worsted yarn, using 8 oz's yarn. It is long enough to fold in half & sew about 7" from the fold to make it a hood scarf!I absolutely love this scarf & would love to keep it myself...But, I made it to give to a homeless person. I'm starting another one.....Not for me, again. There are a lot of homeless people, who could use this. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern!! Angie
